This post-impressionist oil painting depicts a shallow, circular wicker basket overflowing with a collection of vibrant yellow lemons and deeper orange-toned fruits. The basket sits centrally on a flat, pale tan surface that stretches across the lower portion of the frame. Directly in front of the basket lies a pair of rumpled, dark blue leather gloves, their color providing a striking contrast to the warm yellows of the fruit and the sandy background.
Behind the basket, two clusters of dark, feathery pine-like branches frame the arrangement, extending outward to the left and right. The background is a soft, muted sea-green, creating a calm atmosphere that balances the warm colors of the still life. The composition is balanced and grounded, with the dark gloves adding a sense of human presence to the otherwise naturalistic scene.
The painting style is characterized by expressive, visible brushstrokes and thick impasto, typical of late nineteenth-century European art. The lighting appears soft and diffuse, emphasizing the textured surfaces of the woven basket and the varied shapes of the fruit. In the bottom right corner, the artist has signed the work "Vincent" and added the location "Arles 89," indicating the origin of this evocative still life.
